From the cobbled streets of Paris to the mountains of the Pyrenees, Aspects of Love is a sweeping, epic and heart-breaking love story spanning seventeen years. Passion, desire, family ties and friendship bind six people and three generations together as they come to appreciate how love changes everything.
Alex falls in love with the alluring actress, Rose Vibert. Following a little persuasion, Rose joins Alex at his Uncle’s villa. As the pair embark on a steamy, passionate affair, the unexpected arrival of Uncle George changes all their lives – and those around them – forever.
Further casting is to be announced.
Based on the 1955 novella of the same name, the musical has music by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Don Black and Charles Hart, and produced by Nica Burns, by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Limited.
The show first ran in the West End in 1989 before moving to Broadway a year later.
